A Kabar kitchen knife?......

[knife7knut]

Picked this up at a yard sale today in a box of kitchen knives. It looks to be either a paring knife or a small boning knife.Has the italicized Kabar stamp and the blade is chrome plated. I wasn't aware that Kabar ever made kitchen knives.Only cost a buck and it cleaned up pretty nicely.Shaving sharp too!

Kabar was owned at one time by Alcas/Cutco. Might have been made at that time.

ALCAS has owned Kabar since 1996.

The Kabar cutlery started in the ALCAPS KABAR era (post WW2 sometime) or so up into the 1960s.

I think the lines went away between the time the Brown family sold and whoever it was they sold it to, sold it to Cole National.

I have a couple of slicing knives, a couple of butcher knives, a grape fruit knife, 2 carving sets, a slotted spoon, a potato masher, a 12 knife and 6 knife steak knife sets and maybe a couple of other obscure knives.

Edited to correct start period of the cutlery lines.

Here's a display for the plain old kitchen utensil set.

Yes, they made kitchen cutlery too. I have chef's knives and a cleaver and a carving knife all pre WW2 KA-BAR marked. They also made kitchen knives as KA-BAR Inc. with the mark on Ray's knife.

I have these two chef knives. 8" & 10". The handles are poorly finished.
I bought them on Ebay from different sellers a long time ago.
The 8" knife does not have the hyphen in the stamp.
